Can't they use an editor? You can configure your system so that
reportbug will fire up your favourite editor for you, even openoffice,
mcedit, nano or whatever you prefer. Graphical or text based doesn't
really matter, methinks.
An average user should be able to handle at least nano or mcedit. Hey,
even my 70 year old grandma could do that, and she doesn't even speak
english!

That is already possible. For those users who can't handle the editor of
their choice... they should probably learn one first, before filing
bugs.
